Spotted this for sale on "that auction site", pretty rare scope in 7.62 conversion format.
Looks like its had a bit of a life, but overall appears well looked after.
This sale has no affiliation with me what so ever just thought it may be of interest as these scopes rarely come up for sale!

The R32823 on the bracket does not appear to relate to an L42
Can't make out the other numbers on the bracket
Roy,
Certainly not on the L42A1 lists albeit agreed the top turret has been converted to Metric !!;)
Not sure if the first letter is a W but looks to me like the struck out bracket number is - W32758.
This scope was mentioned in a thread on here back in 2010. Mention was made about the originality an "L42 spec rifle with Singapore Police Force markings ( Rifle No R 32823 based on a 44 BSA. T and L1A1 Scope No 22524)".
I wonder why the scope is now separated from the rifle?
Can anyone post a link? Can't find the auction.
Search "no32 scope".
I just tried it and that search it came up top.
Currently on £2500!!!

I'm guessing he was referring to the rifle rather than the scope. Maybe it was/is a faux L42A1 with an original scope and mount. Someone then decided to part out the faux L42A1 for parts.
Auction ended at 2.500 GBP.
That's alot of money!!
Theres a No.32 Mk1 up for £1800ish without the mount. See my other thread in this board section for pictures and details.
For a genuine L1A1 and mount I think that is actually cheap. £1800 for a Mk1 is far too much IMHO
It would've been higher if he'd opened the auction to bidders outside the UK!
